Troparion — Tone 4

By your virtues as by rays of the sun you enlightened the unbelieving philosophers, / and like the most bright moon you drove away the darkness of disbelief from those walking in the night; / you convinced the queen, and also chastised the tyrant, / God-summoned bride, blessed Catherine. / You hastened with desire to the heavenly bridal chamber of the fairest Bride-groom Christ, / and you were crowned by Him with a royal crown; / standing before Him with the angels, pray for us who keep your most sacred memory.

APOLYTIKION FOR ST. JOHN THE BAPTIST 7th January Tone 2

The memory of the just is praised,* but thou art well pleased, O Forerunner, with the testimony of the Lord. * For thou hast verily been shown forth as more honoured than the prophets, * since thou wast counted worthy to baptize in the stream Him whom they foretold. * Therefore, having mightily contended and suffered for the truth, * with joy thou hast preached also to those in Hades, * of God's manifestation in the flesh, * who takes away the sin of the world * and grants unto us great mercy.
